Ready your mind for change

Ready your mind for change

Painting by numbers for self-growth?

You may suffer defeat many times in your quest to remedy yourself of negative traits.

If positive change was easy, everyone would be doing it. There is no instruction booklet as we all have different views of our world. Different positions in life.

Because no one's situation is alike, there are also no cookie cutter recipes to work magic.

Once you've embarked upon the path of self-discovery and change, you'll cross breezy articles and simpleton literature designed to provide an elementary passage to self-growth.

This is fine for some interesting reading, but it won't leave a lasting impression or give any food for sustenance to feed your rebirth.

When was the last time you read a laundry-list intended to help you grow as a person and those concepts were merged into your life with any success?

It doesn't work this way. The old cliche, "it comes from within," is true as can be. Mothers, fathers, husbands, wives, and children are no match when it comes to your negative traits. Only you can claim victory over your faults, yet it won't come easily.

Changing the way you think, feel, see the world is not an ordinary task. It isn't something you could expect to accomplish in a month. It is, in respect to yourself, a lifelong process of growth. It begins with revolution against the evils which aspire to bring you down.

Change takes time. There are phases one must pass to achieve the lasting results desired.

In life, habits are formed which will take your will to the brink of it's limits to erase.

Prisoner of Oppression

Going to war against your faulty traits will be a battle to the death. Death of your negative traits, or wilting of your being.

Consider a starting point a declaration of your freedom. Make a decision, stand up to your captors and strike through the face of fear they invoke.

Your traits cannot physically hurt you, but this is what they'll have you believe. They are strong, based in habit and belief. But they are never as strong as your will.

We covered the four primary negative traits as a family in another article entitled, Which family of traits do you belong?

The four primary traits discussed were Fear, Ignorance, Complacency and Indecisiveness. These traits can be referred to as primal traits. This would be a wise place to begin as attacking them weakens your negatives at the source. You'll find that as you make progress with these traits, negative secondary traits will begin to dissolve around them.

Your primal negatives stand directly outside imprisoned bars but what they don't know is that you're holding the key to exit.

Now is the time to make your escape. However, you should know, they won't allow you to simply walk or pull out your mental machine gun and Rambo away. You're going to get hit on the way out.


Ready to be a better person?

Several methods exist to ignite the flame of motivation inside you.

Know that going with the flow of life is not really what you want as that involves you, a toilet and flushing your life down it.

Consider that allowing your fears and indecisiveness to blow you like a leaf in the wind is no way to live life. If you were born as a dog or monkey this would allow you that choice. But if you're reading this, well, you'd be a very smart monkey indeed.

As a human, you have responsibilities to uphold whether denial exists or not.

You have a responsibility to your soul to feed your energy with love for self, passion for your gifts, dreams and expectations to physical manifestation.

You have a responsibility to yourself to grow rather than wilt.

You have a responsibility to your family. Leading by example for the sake of your husbands, wives and children.

You have a responsibility to our human race. Exercise your freedom to make the world a better place and further the advancement of our species.

Your ancestors suffered greatly so that you are here today. They didn't know it, but they gave their lives to give you yours. You will turn your back on them and the rest of the world to live out a meaningless existence?

Find your path and follow it to the end. This is not meaningless. This is how you'll give the most to our world and your world. By doing what it is you're gifted or meant to do in life, this leverage will most benefit yourself, your family and the world you live in.

Failure and self-imprisonment has much to do with your faulty primal traits. They are the source of your decisions, whereas you should be the source of your decisions.

Life is complex, there are many gray areas to explore. This isn't one of them. There is only one right thing to do.

What now?

Now we're preparing, planning for attack on our uselessness. Arming against ignorance.

You'll need it. Knowing thy enemy is critical to the success of your happiness.

Ready yourself for an interview with fear.
